明智之举
PMC在德国的分部肯定是太闲得无聊了。
德国的PMC同仁们捣鼓了一个实验室，好让硬盘和SSD的厂商们能把自己的产品/设备带过来，和PMC的产品一起做测试。虽然PMC在其他分部一直进行着各项测试验证，这个德国的新实验室，让厂商们能坐下来，踏踏实实把PMC的和他们自己的设备随心所欲地组合，还是让许多人兴奋不已。
PMC在德国的工程师团队经常把市面上推出的新款SSD（试举一例）拿来测试，再将结果反馈给厂家——这是一项与厂商合作进行的项目，旨在确保各行各业以及数据中心的客户都能得到适合他们的产品组合。
所以，PMC确实在竭尽全力，确保PMC的SSD产品性能处于行业领先，能够与市场上不断涌现的性能惊人的设备相匹配。
除此而外，德国的团队还利用这个实验室来为客户提供培训及教育项目。真是了不起的创意……我不禁浮想翩翩，想象着如此这般的实验室在澳大利亚会是什么样子：
Adaptec：“我们想用你的设备来做些测试。”
客户/厂商：“没问题，老伙计。今儿下午找个时间上吧里碰个头，咱边喝边聊着，小事儿！”
看看我们德国的实验室：
再看看咱们澳大利亚的：

in the right direction …
Our teamin Germany must have too much time on their hands
The ladshave put together a vendor lab where vendors such as hard
drive and SSDmanufacturers can bring their gear and test against our products. While we havevalidation testing going on all the time in other centres, having the abilityfor a vendor to sit and play with the combination of our gear and theirs isgetting people
pretty excited.
Our Germanengineering team are constantly putting new SSDs (for
example) through theirpaces and providing feedback to the vendors – a collaborative effort to makesure that the business, enterprise and datacentre customers get the productcombinations that work for them.
So PMC isputting in some big efforts to make sure that we are at
the cutting edge of SSDdesign performance to keep up with some of these amazing devices beingdeveloped.
Along withthat, the team in Germany is using the lab for customer
training and educationsessions. This is a great initiative by the boys over there … I’m justwondering how it would work in Australia:
Adaptec:“We want to do some testing with your equipment”
Customer/vendor: “No worries mate, meet us down the pub this arvo and we’llshoot the breeze over a couple of schooners and sort something out!”
Not suremany people outside the antipodes will understand that one.
